BRONZE AT THE NEW YORK WORLD SPIRITS COMPETITION

When you build something from nothing, every recognition means more.

This year, SOIRÉ Blanco received a Bronze Medal at the New York World Spirits Competition. Our first time entering.

For a small independent brand still finding its footing, that bronze means everything.

WHY THIS MOMENT MATTERS

We created SOIRÉ to prove that rum could compete at the highest level of craft. To earn a place beside the most established names in spirits, not because of marketing budgets or celebrity endorsements, but because of quality.

This medal is validation that the years of testing, refining, and balancing were worth it.
Our blend, a mix of aged rums from Trinidad, Barbados, and the Dominican Republic, charcoal-filtered for clarity and smoothness, held its own against some of the biggest brands in the world.

That means something.

A LESSON IN PERSPECTIVE

Awards aren’t everything. But they’re markers along the path.
Small reminders that we’re on the right track.

We learned a lot from this experience.
We learned how the industry views new spirits.
We learned how price and perception can shape scoring.
And we learned that even when you do everything right, there’s always room to grow.

This bronze wasn’t a loss, but a message.
We belong here.

LOOKING AHEAD

Next year, we’re going for gold.
Not just for the accolade, but for the proof that a brand born from patience, persistence, and community can reach the top.

We’ll keep refining. Keep showing up. Keep letting taste, not hype, define us.

We’re also entering the Tasting Alliance Design Competition, a chance to showcase the craftsmanship behind the bottle itself. Because SOIRÉ isn’t only about what’s inside. It’s about the full experience, the shape, the texture, the feeling when it’s in your hand.

Design and taste are both art forms. We take pride in both.

STAYING GROUNDED

We’re grateful. For every supporter who believed in us before there were awards. For every early pour, every shared post, every message of encouragement.

This recognition is for all of you.

The goal has never been trophies. It’s always been progress.
And every step, every pour, every acknowledgment brings us closer to where we’re headed.

Bronze is just the beginning.
